Book Review: How My Neighbor Stole Christmas

 

A new winter holiday, enemies-to-lovers romance, from the undeniably funny and always spicy, USA Today bestselling author, Meghan Quinn.

Living in a year around Christmas town has it's drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave--I mean house--keeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits.

And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determine to win.

Well guess what? Over my cold-hearted body.

There was no way I was going to let her win, not after the history we'd shared.

So despite my promise to myself of never participating in the sickening Christmas season, I entered the competition as well. That's right, I planned on beating Storee at her own game by pretending this grump’s heart grew three sizes this season.

And it was working until feelings between us started heating up.
We pretended to date.
We kissed.
And well, sparks flew from there.

Which led to one explosive night involving Christmas lights, the competition, and a ladder. Don't let me convince you who stole Christmas, I think you need to find out for yourself . . .


My Review

I love this book so much. It provided me with tons of laughter and joy. The witty banter between Storee and Cole had me chuckling. Then there is Aunt Cindy pretending to have one foot in the grave. Hey, anything to help get an advantage in the holiday competition. 

Two of my favorites are Aunt Cindy and The Narrator. The Narrator has a snarky side to them but mainly it is aimed towards Cole as he keeps interrupting The Narrator. The way that The Narrator would direct the story if Cole complained was hilarious.

While they may be sidekicks, Atlas and Taran are great additions to the story. Everyone needs an Atlas and a sister like Taran. This book is on Santa's "nice" list!
